Tanning, step by step, in Santa Croce sull'Arno
Since 1970 Conceria Il Gabbiano has tanned full-grain bovine shoulders with vegetable tannins and natural fats only. No chrome, no solvents: every step leaves the leather its character, the grain, the veining, the marks of a life lived.
Galigai is made from this leather. Our master leatherworkers cut and stitch it in Tuscany, in limited runs: every bag shows leather professionals what this material can do.
